You know the drill. If you had 100 million dollars, what would you do?
Here’s what I’ve figured out as of 8/23/2008.
In no specific order:
- Quit my job. Duh.
- Sell my house. Duh.
- Help fulfill family members’ dreams (within reason).
- Travel for at least 3 months of the year, every year.
- Create a large scholarship program for hard-working students with a 3.5+ GPA and a household income less than $30,000.
- Donate all earned interest on the 100 million dollars every year, plus some more as possible
- Buy 50+ wooded acres somewhere with mild winters and 30 minutes from a city of at least 50,000 (perhaps near Asheville, NC).
- Design and build a house on said land. House plans to include at least 3000sqft of shop space with a hydraulic lift for car work.
- Buy an E30 BMW M3
- Explore Wankel engines. Soft spot for the Mazda FC3S chassis RX-7.
- Restore pre-1975 Volkswagen Beetle. Make it have fuel injection, electronic ignition control, and 300HP.
- Do the same to a Volkswagen Type 3 “Squareback”.
- Learn (or learn better): Electronics, welding, metal forming, composite laying, home eletrical wiring, photography, painting
- Take the Accelerated Certification Program at EFI University.
- Attend motorsports events around the world.
- Pay $50,000 toward each friends’ mortgage. Once. In order to get them closer to financial freedom.
- Buy a MIDI drum kit and learn to play the drums
- Build a custom bicycle
- Learn to play guitar
